Versus Tennessee
  • This will be the 44th meeting between Arkansas and Tennessee with all but four coming since the Razorbacks joined the SEC for the 1991-92 season.
  • Tennessee has won three straight to take a 22-20 advantage in the series. However, Arkansas is 10-4 versus the Volunteers in Fayetteville, including a streak of five straight wins.
EARLIER THIS YEAR IN KNOXVILLE:
  • Tennessee had five players score double-digits, including a game-high 20 points and eight assists from Santiago Vescovi, to lead the Volunteers to an 82-61 victory over Arkansas at Thompson-Boling Arena.
  • Jimmy Whitt Jr., led Arkansas with 19 points, making a career-high 11-of-16 at the free throw line, and added three steals.
  • Arkansas had its lowest point total of the year and shot a season-low 30.6% to fall by double figures for the first time all season.
  • Both teams struggled out of the gate with the score being 10-6 nine minutes into the contest. Tennessee led by seven, 18-11 with eight minutes left in the first half. From that point, the Vols went on a 21-9 run to lead by 19 (39-20) with 1:33 left and never looked back.
  • Desi Sills scored 11 points for the Razorbacks and Reggie Chaney added 10 points and six rebounds. Ethan Henderson had an SEC career-high four rebounds and he played an SEC career-high 16 minutes. Jamario Bell saw his most action (5:21) and blocked two shots.

Joe Returns; Scores 21
  • Isaiah Joe returned to the Razorback lineup versus Missouri after missing five games due to knee surgery. The Razorbacks were 0-5 with Joe out of the lineup including two overtime losses (vs Auburn and at Missouri) and a loss at the buzzer versus Mississippi State.
  • Joe finished with a game-high 21 points in his return (5-of-10 from 3PT) with three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one charge taken.
  • Joe started and played 38 minutes. He made his first field goal – a 3-pointer – with 6:05 in the first half to cut an eight-point deficit to five. He hit his second triple at 1:22 before halftime to give Arkansas its first lead – one it would not relinquish.
  • In the second half and Arkansas up two with 8:06 to play, Joe got a steal that led to a Desi Sills 3-pointer. With Arkansas up two with 2:14 to play, Joe drained a 3-pointer. A minute later with Arkansas up three, Joe hit a triple from the top of the key.
